Personal History
I just got back into riding after a seven year break due to college and moving a thousand miles away from home! Getting back into the sport has been so much fun. I dumped a thousand dollars into rebuilding an 05 rm 125 I found on facebook marketplace. New piston and ring, rebuilt carb, new clutch plates, new fmf exhaust system, and even having to take apart he power valve and unseize it. I recently brought home a brand new 23 yz250f and have started to get into competing.
Riding Goals
Two weeks ago I raced my first race in my entire life, a 2+ hour harescramble on my yamaha. It was the most physically taxing but most rewarding thing I've ever done. My goal going into the race was just to get out safe and have fun. It was incredibly muddy, rooted, and rutted, but I was making moves and performing well. I ended up getting 12th out of 17th in 250f beginner and 121 out of 175 overall. I was happy with the result for my first race.
Ultimately I'd like to keep attending harescrambles and local MX races. I'd like to compete in an entire series and aim for a top 5 position in points.
